Clough and GE Oil and Gas Australia have signed a teaming agreement to identify and deliver small-scale LNG fuel solutions for clients located in Australasia.
“ The agreement will bring together leaders in LNG technology and EPC capability to develop small LNG network solutions for domestic applications including remote power, industrial use and transportation fuel (road, mine, locomotive and marine) , Clough said in a statement.
The relationship is five years in the making, with Clough having previously signed a cooperation agreement with small-scale LNG plant provider, Salof, which was acquired by GE in 2013.
The collaboration between GE and Clough will ultimately help build a virtual pipeline network for LNG fuelling in the region where physical pipeline infrastructure is scarce, particularly to remote areas for power generation and mining operations, according to the statement.
The companies plan to provide an end-to-end LNG fuel solution that will convert natural gas into LNG and deliver it to the final point of use, including all the associated infrastructure, storage and transportation. Providing this fully-integrated solution ensures a reliable LNG fuel supply to replace diesel, allowing clients to focus on their core business, the statement said.
The service offers a collaborative LNG network development model which is underpinned by GE’s Small-scale LNG technology and Clough’s extensive LNG process engineering, modular construction and asset management capability. GE currently has more than 25 small-scale LNG plants in operation and under development.
